While not connected to BrExit, since the UK left the EU, the quality, flavours and cost of Walkers Crisps appear to have all suffered. I used to see a 6-pack of Quavers for £1, a 12-pack for £2, and a 24-pack was £3, which changed to a 20-pack for £3 (All in the local Tesco store). After BrExit, and Covid, and following the IT problems a Walkers, which all seemed to affect supplies, a 6-pack is now £1.75-£2, a £12 pack £2.75 to £3, and 20/24 packs are not to be found. In protest, I've been looking at other options, generally Walkers packs of potato crisps are priced similarly, though 22-pack boxes are available. The thing is, the flavours are now pretty insipid, not at all comparable to the flavour from 5 years ago. Bring back Smiths, Golden Wonder and the other crisps that provided taste and value from years ago.

Walkers crisps used to be tasty now they are bland. WHY, Prawn Cocktail are not too bad, but the other flavours are just bland and actually unpleasant. WAKE UP WALKERS, add more flavouring or if you have changed your oil ! Change back PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE. Otherwise after months of being dissatisfied I will stop buying.

I’ve finally had enough and won’t be buying anymore of walkers crisps after each time I do they are too HARD to eat!! fed up of them cutting my gums and making my mouth sore!! No other crisps I know are like this so I now officially give up and will buy supermarkets own brands!!! Bye Walkers!!!

Bought these in salt & vinegar flavour as for some reason none of my usual favourite own-brand versions have been available recently. Really poor consistency - thin yet at the same time hard without being really crispy. Flavour so-so - I’d like more salt. What do I prefer? Own brand basic crisps from Aldi or Lidl, also happy with Waitrose’s “Essential” range, even Tesco ; but best of all for me are Seabrook. So you see I’m happy with plenty - but not Walkers.

Terrible crisps. Very dry with only a hint of intended flavour and never enough salt on them. Golden Wonder crisps are far superior although the ready salted requires me to add salt.

Bought a multi packet of the salt & vinegar what the hell have walkers done to these? they are tasteless! I thought I had a problem with my taste buds but my son has just eaten some and chucked them away! We’ve always enjoyed that flavour but the change to them are awful!! There just isn’t any flavour!!

I brought a packet of 6 walkers crisps variety . Was so disappointed when I opened the packet. 4 packs of salt and vinegar. 1 cheese and onion 1 plain that was so bland didn’t even have a hint of salt. What a disappointment

Being total crisp addicts in our family we have eaten walkers for more years than I care to remember. I had them every day in my lunchbox for school and even sneak a packet most evenings. I have noticed though over the years that walkers crisps are becoming more and more tasteless. When I used to open a packet of monster munch pickled onion my saliver glands would go into overdrive with the smell but now they are bland corn crisps. Salt and vinegar were also one of my favourites but again they lack taste. Honestly you might as well pack 24 bags of ready salted in a bag. I am seriously thinking of changing my crisp brand and saying farewell to walkers forever

I love Walkers Snacks and taste is yummy and delicious. Quality and Quantity is excellent. Whenever i am hungry always prefer it. Price is affordable. Overall excellent.

This are crispy chips and had different seasonings. Roast chicken is my favorite flavor.

I'm going out on a limb amidst all the bad reviews and saying these are actually quite tasty crisps. However, the colonel would be rolling in his grave because they taste NOTHING like KFC. This is walkers purely riding the coat tails of another successful brand. These crisps taste more like a Hybrid of McCoy's flame grilled steak, mixed with chicken flavour and black pepper. Additionally, the regular flavour are much too spicy and hot. Back to the drawing board on the Colonels original blend of 11 herbs & spices (which aren't so secret anymore). Edible but no finger licking good formulas here whatsover. Whomever manages to nail that down 'in a crisp' are going to be hugely successful.

Consistently stale with rock hard bits of god knows what for good measure. A sub standard product trading on hyped up advertising can only take you so far. I remember the day when They use to be light,crispy and golden, a guilty pleasure. Get your act together walkers they are not worth the calories.

I agree with you, since 2021 started I’m constantly getting whole multipacks of ready salted that taste stale. Their CS is full of BS on Twitter fibbing me of with a voucher that didn’t work. It’s such a sorry state as people who have bought them for decades will just shift brands

They taste better than than oily american crisps. Cheese and onion crisps are my favorite ones. Orders them very frequently.

I always buy these packs several times, they were good. But nowadays they taste like they've gone all the time, fusty and fatty.

Wow, what on earth have Walkers tried to pull off. THESE ARE DISGUSTING. They certainly dont taste anything like KFC to me, or to anyone else that tried them. Walkers are on their way out I think. Paying Lineker too much money to see his smug ugly face on the TV, getting about 10 crisps to a packet, and now this KFC mistake. Serves them right. They have forgotten about their customers and their needs, ie. A DECENT AMOUNT OF CRISPS IN A BAG AND A PROPER TASTE. Will never buy Walkers again

Written on: 20/02/2021
totally agree, they dont even taste like chicken let alone kfc !!! and HOT way way to much...bought a multi pack but like this reviewer they will be going in the bin.
WHO at Walkers decided this was a great taste ?
WHO at Walkers authorised this taste...?
Should be fired

I have bought Walkers ready salted for years but I’ve noticed over the past 12 months there appears to be less in the packet but worse they have a stale twang. This seems to happen more and more frequently to the point where the last six multipacks of ready salted have tasted wrong . It’s off putting and I’m just now after eating these fir decades looking for a replacement, I’m guessing it’s the US owned company trying to maximise profits at the detriment of flavour and quality, which is America all over .
